Commenting on residents’ concerns about the inquiry into the Grenfell disaster, Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party said:
“Victims demand judicial inquiries because of the need for independent and impartial scrutiny. To earn the trust of the community and the wider public, the Grenfell inquiry must:
– Swiftly set wide-ranging terms of reference, after consultation with local residents.
– Be delivered in two parts: the first on the incident itself, and the second on the wider national issues it raises.
– Operate with the highest level of transparency, putting the residents’ interests at its heart.
– Broaden the inquiry team to include greater expertise and engage fully with victims, residents, the emergency services and local community.”
